The Department for Communities has announced that the 'Move to UC' will start in October
The Department for Communities has announced that the 'Move to UC' will start on Monday, October 16, for those in receipt of tax credits and no other benefits.
“The Department has been working closely with our stakeholders and the advice sector. We have recently completed a discovery exercise in both an urban and rural area to understand the impacts on those receiving a migration letter and the help, support and advice they need to make their UC claim. We have adapted our approach for those moving from Tax Credits onto UC as a result of what we have learnt.
